Storing Session data in $_COOKIE as well

I have been struggling for a while on how to share information stored in $_SESSION in order to avoid pop up issues with IE and etc. I would really like some insight into how to deal more gracefully with cookies, from someone who uses them more often than i.

Basically all I want to do is populate the session data into the cookie. Here is an example of code that would be nice to work:

PHP Code:


			
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];

$username = $_SESSION['username'];

$password = $_SESSION['password'];

$userlevel = $_SESSION['userlevel'];



setcookie("uservars['userid']", $userid);    

setcookie("uservars['username']", $username);    

setcookie("uservars['password']", $password);    

setcookie("uservars['userlevel']", $userlevel);

For whatever reason, setting the cookies on the same script the session is being set from POST is not working properly either ... but I would be happy to employ another similar method.

The only cookie that is working is the one to identify the session ... erg
